This book was released on 2020-09-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These guidelines have been approved by the four organizations that make up the Cooperating Parties for the ICD-10-CM: the American Hospital Association (AHA), the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), CMS, and NCHS. These guidelines are a set of rules that have been developed to accompany and complement the official conventions and instructions provided within the ICD-10-CM itself. The instructions and conventions of the classification take precedence over guidelines. These guidelines are based on the coding and sequencing instructions in the Tabular List and Alphabetic Index of ICD-10-CM, but provide additional instruction. Adherence to these guidelines when assigning ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes is required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The diagnosis codes (Tabular List and Alphabetic Index) have been adopted under HIPAA for all healthcare settings. A joint effort between the healthcare provider and the coder is essential to achieve complete and accurate documentation, code assignment, and reporting of diagnoses and procedures. These guidelines have been developed to assist both the healthcare provider and the coder in identifying those diagnoses that are to be reported. The importance of consistent, complete documentation in the medical record cannot be overemphasized. Without such documentation accurate coding cannot be achieved. The entire record should be reviewed to determine the specific reason for the encounter and the conditions treated.

Download or read book ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS Coding Handbook Without Answers written by Nelly Leon-Chisen and published by American Hospital Association. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook content reflects 2013 versions of the Official Coding Guidelines and its format and style follows previous Faye Brown editions. The text leads students to logical answers and provides primary supporting source. This logical approach has allowed the Handbook to become the most popular textbook for hospital and physician office coder training. Exercises are presented in clear, technically correct language that progresses from easy to more difficult. Each chapter includes an overview that highlights important points and includes "learning outcomes" and "terms to know" --features that help readers understand and absorb new information. A "Remember..." feature provides sidebar comments or facts that alert readers to special information or perspectives. Expanded indexes enhance the speed of finding and applying information. Scores of Exercises and Quizzes The Handbook contains more than 60 new exercises and case studies, plus updates to the 100-plus in-chapter exercises and review questions. The case-summary exercises are based on health records and require readers to consider the patient's condition as well as medical history, reason for admission or encounter, laboratory results, procedures performed, and the diagnoses listed. Readers must apply pertinent coding principles and official coding guidelines in making code assignments and designating the principal diagnosis and procedure for each episode of care. Illustrations of surgical procedures and diagrams of anatomy and common disorders make it easier for readers to remember and absorb information, plus the Handbook includes an appendix on reimbursement methodologies valuable to new students.
